WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of pro-
ducing very high voltage and current, contact with
following parts
may result in a severe, possibly
fatal, electrical shock.
(Example)
High Voltage Capacitor, High Voltage Power
Transformer, Magnetron, High Voltage Rectifier
Assembly, High Voltage Harness etc..
Read the Service Manual carefully and follow all
instructions.
Before Servicing
1. Disconnect the power supply cord
, and then
remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DISCHARGE THE HIGH-VOLTAGE
CAPACITOR BEFORE SERVICING.
The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about 60
seconds after the oven has been switched off. Wait for
60 seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the
high-voltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of the
high-voltage rectifier) against the chassis with the use of
an insulated screwdriver.
Whenever troubleshooting is performed the power supply
must be disconnected. It may in, some cases, be necessary
to connect the power supply after the outer case has been
removed, in this event,
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5. Ensure that the leads remain isolated from other
components and oven chassis by using insulation
tape.
6. After that procedure, reconnect the power supply cord.
When the testing is completed,
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Reconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
6. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case
is installed.
7. Run the oven and check all functions.
After repairing
1. Reconnect all leads removed from components during
testing.
2. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
3. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case
is installed.
4. Run the oven and check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be run empty. To test for the
presence of microwave energy within a cavity, place a cup
of cold water on the oven turntable, close the door and set
the power to HIGH and set the microwave timer for two (2)
minutes. When the two minutes has elapsed (timer at zero)
carefully check that the water is now hot. If the water remains
cold carry out
Before Servicing
procedure and re-examine
the connections to the component being tested.
When all service work is completed and the oven is fully
assembled, the microwave power output should be checked
and a microwave leakage test should be carried out.
Don't Touch !
